A suitably lugubrious Happy Birthday to Edward Gorey (1922-2000)--unchallenged master of Disquieting Nonsense, the Ironic Gothic, Existentialist Dada--on what would have been his 101st. Never forget the Importance of Being Edwardian; *he* never did.

"Class war and the percolating rage of ‘workers of the world’ are emerging as the lightning-rod social issues of the coming century. Growing income inequality...has created fertile soil for the apocalyptic politics of the disaffected.” - PYROTECHNIC INSANITARIUM (1999) #markdery #trump #maga

#Afrofuturism. A term coined by a White journalist named #MarkDery, just to be chopped and screwed so much that people forget the creator and only remember what was created.
